A 31-year-old man was arrested this week in connection with a fatal St. Paul bar shooting in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood.
The man, who lives in St. Paul Park, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at the Arlington Gardens Apartments in the 100 block of Arlington Avenue W., according to Ramsey County jail logs.
He hadn't been charged as of Wednesday.
Adlai Xiong, of Minneapolis, was shot in the head early Saturday morning outside the Moonshine Saloon on E. 7th Street.
Authorities were called to the Moonshine at 1:19 a.m. on an assault report and found three people shot outside the bar. Xiong was taken to Regions Hospital, where he died; the two other victims were said to be recovering from their wounds and were not named.
A bouncer said a man ran into the bar and told his friends that someone was hurt. When the bouncer followed them outside, he found the three victims lying on the sidewalk on the west side of the building.
Xiong reportedly was a regular customer at the bar. He worked in production at Roseville-based toner cartridge provider LaserFax for five years, general manager Joe Barrett said. His older brother also works at the company.
Barrett described Xiong as a funny, quiet and hardworking employee. Xiong "had a great smile and always treated everybody with respect," he said.
